Swimming 50K for Brain Tumour Research
Fundraising for Brain Tumour Research
Story
Hello 👋
I am swimming in memory of my friends Carol, Ros and Bobby who prematurely lost their beautiful lives to a brain tumour before they reached 55 yrs , leaving behind families who had to rebuild their lives without their loved ones. . This is also for those suffering today with the disease and the impact it’s having on them and their families’ lives.
Funds are vital to raise awareness of the symptoms of brain tumours for early treatment. Research into new treatments aims to double survival rates and improve the quality of life of those living with a brain tumour.
I am fortunate to have the encouragement of Iain McLean, part of The Brain Tumour charity's Scottish Steering Committee, whose beloved son Duncan died just aged 20 from Glioblastoma multiform (GBM) six years ago within two days of being diagnosed. This has given me renewed energy and motivation to continue to do what I can to prevent other families from losing loved ones in the future.
Every donation is a step forward to eradicating this disease. Please give what you can today - every £10 helps.
Thank you so much, Gilly x
